Used the beast all day for work yesterday. 43 degrees at start. No problems at all. Had to work today so I used her again. 38 degrees at start.

Ed, thank you for the referral of Ragwings and Tailwheels for the snoopy cap. I love it. This morning I added a lightweitht balaclava under that cap to portect the rest of my face and I was comfortable.…[Read more]

I case I can’t do it in person on Friday, Happy Birthday , Schu !

I hope your shakedown run ends better than mine did. I haven’t hadine out since the fuel pump issue. Hopefully tomorrow..Good Luck

Unattractive spare tire mount…wheel cover hides it and houses the third stop lamp.

What’s wrong with this sequence?Used the car for work today. 45 degrees when I left. Car ran great until noon when the car fell on it’s face and died. Fuel pump died. AAA got me home, grabbed a new pump at work and had the car running by 6:00 PM. Glad this didn’t happen on 95 in DC. We’ll try again tomorrow.

Paul, the run to Baltimore for Ed and then south for Schu and Gabor won’t allow us to use the Bay tunnel/bridge. We’ll be on the wrong side of the bay.If you want to split up on the way home to take it, I’d be game. It would make for a faster trip home. We can discuss it when we’re there.

Well, that’s the first thing I’ve seen you do I do not approve of. That does not belong there…I do hope you’re kidding.

One never notices the slow degradation of systems when used on a regular basis. When test driving the beast I became unnerved by the feel of the brake pedal.

Ed, the Port Royal stop is a no brainer. 17 was a great run and am looking forward to it again.

You are taking a lot more time and care than I ever did. I’ve never used anything finer than 1200 in my life. As a friend of mine is fond of saying…”Good enough for who it’s for”Yours will be beautiful.

Wonderful Ed…meet you same place , same time? Just let me know when and where that was.

I contacted Donna but she won’t go that distance topless. She should be in attendance at Carlisle, though.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and incentive to finally take on this project.

IT’S ALIVE !!!

The only loose parts left are the front bumper and the right running board. Lamps are all on and worked on the first try. Wheels all on. I will be driving by the weekend. Woo Hoo!!

And it’s sporting a decent looking hardtop!!!

Just wait until you end up in the wet and the thing stops straight. Congratulations, Roy.

Hey, I finally remembered…

LOL. FORGOT!
